  • Traditional, geometric, road-based models fail to observe small-world properties, while a new street-based modelling approach has obtained opposite results, by observing small-world properties for diverse methods of graph representations.

    “While traditional, geometric, road-based models fail to observe small-world properties, a new street-based modelling approach has obtained opposite results, by observing small-world properties for the diverse methods of graph representations, e.g., (Jiang et al. 2014;Jiang 2007;Porta et al. 2006;Jiang and Claramunt 2004).”

    From A Network Approach to Link Visibility and Urban Activity Location (2018) · cites this paper as Jiang 2007

    The Introduction (p. 1) says the traditional segment-and-junction representation is unsuitable for uncovering network patterns, but does not establish that it fails to show small-world properties. The Topological Analysis (p. 4) finds small-world structure in all 40 networks studied using street–street intersection topology; it does not demonstrate that result across diverse graph-representation methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
